    I don’t think so, I just think VAR is not something that can ever really work in football.

      Seems to work decently in most other leagues and tournaments. Maybe not perfectly, but better than before and WAY better than in the PL.

        Depends what you mean by “work decently” - if it still involves uncertainty over whether a goal is going to stand or not, drawing lines to determine offside decisions, and rolling back and forward to make a judgement on something that happened too fast for the cameras to be technically capable of capturing, then count me out.

        Football was more fun without VAR. And from games I’ve seen in Spain, Germany, Italy and in the CL, VAR is just as frustrating and annoying there as in England or anywhere else.

          I can’t remember at any point this Bundesliga season or the previous world cup where VAR was particularly egregious, I’m sure there were moments for sure but not like the PL where there’s an issue almost every game.

            To be fair, it might come down to personal preference - I’m not talking so much about how well or badly VAR is used. I’m talking about its use at all. I just hate the way it punctuates the game.
